Beta blockers are a class of drugs that are particularly used to manage cardiac arrhythmias, and to protect the heart from a second heart attack after a first heart attack.

I was taking Metoprolol XL. Low dose. One pill. Seemed to work like magic. So, once again, I was prescribed something that is not for what they are really used for, but off label benefits.

All I could think of was that warning in the Cymbalta commercials that said, "Don't stand up suddenly when taking Cymbalta as it could lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure."

If they had beta blocker commercials, maybe I would have known.

Come on Mike . They are beta blockers , They block beta . Jeeez and i thought you were edumacated .

yeah sometimes taking a drug meant for one thing to cure another sometime benefits and others it doesn't . Then you have to watch out . Glad Jess took you to the Hospital .


I don't allow beta to enter my space . that's why i am better looking and with this fabulous brown hair I have . imagine what you will look like when you are my age .

I am so glad to hear you are taking the health thing serious . Sometimes Doctors experiment with us and the drug companies . I was taking some meds for headaches and the side effects were worse than the neck pain and headaches . So now I live with headaches daily . But no more side effects ! Let me know if you need anything . you got my number
